Our Team

Simone Bell – Manager, Survivor Outreach

Simone is our peer support lead for The Hope Found Project and often the first person our clients will work with. A survivor of trafficking she has an incredible ability to connect with everyone she works with. As manager of survivor outreach she provides peer support and helps our clients navigate the road to healing. She also educates law enforcement, health care and social services on the issue of Human Trafficking and the victim mindset.

Cynthia Bland – Founder, CEO

Cynthia leads a diverse team of staff and volunteers across Canada. She is responsible for the all aspects of the organization and works with the Board of Directors to develop and execute on strategy. She develops and delivers training across Canada, is a sought after speaker and has deep subject matter expertise on child sexual abuse and resulting consequences. As a survivor herself, she provides peer support and works on the front lines.

When you are in the business of caring for others who have been traumatized, placing clients in the hands of those who have an intimate knowing of what this can mean to a person, is invaluable. I rely on and trust the work of Simone Bell and Cynthia Bland of Voice Found, they are the true definition of an effective referral.
